Pure---Stupidity / Ignorance----

Hello all,two questions as I hang my head in shame and ask for a stupid question. I have been trying to follow several guides for mounting CDs. I was wondering if it is an operator or hardware problem, so I have posted dmesg(8). Also when I try to change directory into /usr/src/sys it doesn't exist. I was told to Google the solution, by doing so I ended up trying to do a sysinstall(8), then I find out that sysinstall(8) is depreciated. Could someone kindly point me in the right direction, or give me a Google search keyword. Thank you.

PS I couldn't get sysinstall(8) to work at all. ftp/passive,cdrom,etc nothing worked.

If anything don't look right please Help!
 
Sorry I got upset, broke down and posted the dmesg without noticing the cd0 until after. It worked. Still not sure how to work everything, I got a book from my college called "Programing linux hacker tools" (I'm in Cyber-Sec) once mounted there are 5 files, part II all the way to 4 and a readme.doc that's encrypted. When I try to view "part II" it says does not exist part, does not exists II.

The reason I am so concerned about /usr/src/ being empty is because, I was told that virtual box needed the kernel source to work. I also thought it would help get PHP up to date?

I just found that I am suppose to run csup /root/supfile? I did and it just ended with a
Code: 
Receiver: Operation timed out

Sorry for the ignorance, and thank you SO much for the help.
 
ah, a question I might have helpful input for.

I think the "right" guide for getting the kernel sources is in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html. Even that I think is better not to treat as a how-to, but instead read it to try to understand how things work, and then figure out what you need. I would say prefer advice you get from the handbook from other things you find online unless what you find is both up to date and the author seems to know what he/she is talking about.

Using cd-roms is also in the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html

Is your freebsd installation inside of virtual box?


About the parts, do you mean something like this:
Code: 
ls part II
ls: II: No such file or directory
ls: part: No such file or directory

This is just a matter of how to use a terminal. I would do:
Code: 
ls "part II"

And believe it or not, using freebsd inside virtualbox is in the handbook here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization-guest.html
And using virtualbox in freebsd is in the handbook here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization-host.html

There's a space in the filename. Enclose the filename with quotes or escape the space.

[cmd=]less "part II"[/cmd]
[cmd=]less part\ II[/cmd]

Somebody that does "Cyber-Sec" should be familiar with this.

Thank all of you for responding, SirDice, I just finished my first semester of Information-assurance/cyber-security. I am wise enough to know that I look like a fool for asking a question like that, and I am sorry for the LQ thread. Thanks again for helping me, and I promise though I am ignorant I truly am hooked on all of this, and it is just a matter of time till I got it all figured out.

update: I finally got virtualbox to work, due to the csup / root/supfile and build world

I still havnt got php,kdelib updated(I run scrotwm, do I even need KDElib?)

and now if I leave a CD in the cdrom,and try to reboot i lose the mouse once xserver starts. And when I run "shutdown now" it kills the x server and boots into root.

Thanks again for the help, and I promise I try to google first before asking. I have been running freeBSD for 2 1/2 weeks now, straight from windows, so alot of the google references are confusing at times. Hope its not too bad of an annoyance

Admitting ignorance is a sign of strength. Remember that, it's important. The only problem here is too much hurrying. Try to separate problems into separate threads, and do as much background research as possible before asking for help.
 
A wise man learns more from asking a stupid question than a stupid man learns from a wise answer ;)
